Difference in oilfilters, which is preferred?

Post by Lasse » Mon May 26, 2008 7:41 pm

Which oilfilter should one go for?

Looking at Wemoto, so is the HiFlo or the Champion preferred? Or should one go for an original Honda item.

Kind regards, Lasse

I have only ever used the Hein Gericke ones, so whatever brand they sell is the ones I use.
Ducati 916, not worth a carrott

OEM Honda filter! Every time.
I have seen too many trashed engines caused by the usage of NoName or low quality filters.
Power is nothing without control!
